wireless networks

Try to set the wireless channel to a number between 1 and 12. The second laptop might have a wireless chipset designed for other regions, in that case it won't see channels above 12...

I'm trying to connect my other laptop to my wireless network for the wife to use... but it won't see the router. It sees every other network in the area just not my damn network

Anyone know of any possible reasons?

I know the network works fine, PC, main laptop, PS3 and PSP all connect to it without any problems

Linksys routers have a bug connecting to some types of laptop.

Try a fixed ip.

I will suggest you try checking the encryption settings, some 802.x (b) adapters may not identify networks security higher than WEP.

I have had several encounters with BT Hubs, on this issue.

Best of Luck!

You don't have MAC address filtering set up do you???
